Week 5: Hanging Work

In this session we hung the pinhole photography we had produced over the last few weeks. First we had to decide what images should be shown as a few of the images hadn't come out properly and were just black and as we only had limited we had to get rid of a few.

We then used a laser level to set up our exhibition and make sure it's straight. We used bulldog clips and nails to hang the project, it took us quite a long time to get the composition right and we continually experimented with different combinations of images until we were happy with our results.

Also in this session we finished off our wet collodion images by cleaning the dust off the back of the glass with a wet paper towel, before spraying them black using black spray paint. This made all the images look a lot neater, cleaner and more professional. We also hung them as a complete set of 12 images using a grid made up of 48 nails, which you simply slotted the pieces of glass into. To the left is a photo of my group's wet collodion portrait, I am happy with our final outcome especially as none of us had ever produced this kind of image before.
